Easter 2010

I love me some Easter baskets!
Just can't help it...buying up little goodies

all the spring through and stashing

them away until Easter morning!!!
I was trained by the BEST...Aunt Kitty!

Not only did the Easter Bunny always

spoil me but Aunt Kitty did, too!!!

How fun is it to have THREE baskets

to fill this year?!? Color me HAPPY!!!

Classic Walker...

Classic Haddie...

She went back to her bedroom to get her

bunny (named Hudson Hadlee by the way!)...

His favorite candy...

Her favorite candy...

Hudsy Pudsy liked his treats, too!!!My Easter morning was COMPLETE!!!Probably my favorite Easter picture...

I just couldn't resist snapping a picture of this!

She always says the sweetest little prayers!!!

Ready for Church...Mommy & Daddy with the Bigs...

Baby Love was sleeping.Hudson's first time at church...

on his first Easter Sunday!He seemed to like church!!!Our first time to church as a

family of five and we were way

early!!! Can't even believe that!Then it was off to Easter lunch at the

hospital where my dad was with pneumonia...Troy LOVES hospital cafeteria food so he

was thrilled. ME? Not so much...I ordered

a grilled cheese! ha! We were with my

sweet mother and that's all that mattered to me!It wasn't long until the whole fam rolled in!My dad is doing A LOT better. He is back home

but still has some recovery to do. Bless his heart...

I hated seeing my dad this way!I couldn't be happier or more thankful

for so many reasons this Easter.My precious baby boy! Thank you, Sweet Jesus!I could just eat that double chin UP......and kiss those perfectly

plump little lips all day long!!!Our VERY Best Easter yet!!!

We love because HE first loved us.

This is what love is: God loved us and sent His Son. 1 John 4:10

Build a Bunny

I had decided that we might not visit the

Easter Bunny at the mall this year.

Until I read a paper Walker wrote at school

about the Easter Bunny...you know the one

who lives at the mall this time of year?!?

You just can't beat a picture from the

Richland Fashion Mall!!!

As usual, look who just happened to

show up, too?!? We wouldn't have it any

other way...that's for sure!

THEN, the kids tricked us into a

trip to Build a Bear!!!

This gets me...

EveRy!siNgLe!TiMe!

Walker chose to build an

Anakin SkyWalker Bear &

Haddie chose to build a flower Bunny!!!

(Truth be known...I have had my

eyes on that adorable bunny for

awhile anyways!!!)

Next we painted and colored some Easter eggs...

Walker, Hadlee and Hudson...

you make every holiday and every day

SO MUCH SWEETER!

Happy Hunting

We had our fifth annual Hoodie Hunt last week!!! My Sweet Baby Love attended

his first Easter Egg Hunt!!! Walker & Hadlee couldn't wait

to get to the Hoodie Hunt!

My dear friend Jeannie took a picture

of me holding Sweet Baby Bryce last year.

Now he can WALK!!!

I love that I'm holding my very own little baby

this year and hoping there will be another

baby hoodie to hold next year!

Jeannie also took this paparazzi style photo!!!

I'm glad she did...it reminds me how much I love

having a baby to push in a stroller, a sweet

girl to walk beside me and a wild boy to chase!

The big kids go off hunting SO FAST!

Luckily I have this sweetie pie to

hunt eggs with...even if she did ONLY
want the twelve princess eggs she took!!!

I love our Hood so much and I can't believe how we've GROWN!!!It's a blessing beyond words to have such dear friends right outside your door!Haddie thinks it's a blessing beyond words to have Ro Ro right down the way!These two bunnies just had to come hopping by!!!The next day was Haddie's Hunt at Mrs. Janice's! This little girl was SO excited that morning. She even insisted on wearing her dressy dress!!!How cute is this?!? Mrs. Janice and Adrianne are the BEST...the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!Sweet, fun friends...How cute are they?!?

Mrs. Janice certainly has created a special thing for these three darlings! I could never express my gratitute to her enough! Never, ever!!!

While this year Walker was too quick to catch a pic of hunting Easter eggs and Hudson was just a little too itty bitty to hunt quite yet...Princess Pie was the perfect age! Everything is just magical to her right now! I wouldn't trade a second of it!!!

I Love Somebunnies

Walker Bunny ~ 7 months old

Hadlee Bunny ~ 11 months old

Hudson Bunny ~ 12 weeks old

I love somebunnies

SO MUCH!!!
(Even if one REFUSES to wear bunny ears now!)
Somebunnies are just...

SO! MUCH! FUN!!!

Prom?

I love everything about this sweet picture

my dear friend Karen took...the gorgeous

blue sky, Haddie's little hand on her Daddy's

face, her precious blond ponytail and

that sweet kiss Daddy is giving his princess!

Hadlee has learned to tell everyone that her

Daddy tells her she is the "most beautiful

princess in the whole wide world".

Their relationship is sweeter than sweet.

Hadlee will always have

this man to love her!!!

As far as Haddie taking him to

the prom, well, that is still up in the air.

Troy is sure of it though!

Sic 'em Bears

If you never see another post from me,

you'll know that the two Aggies in my

life put an end to my blog because

of this post! BUT COME ON...

I've gotta give my Beloved Baylor Bears

some sweet sixteen LOVE!!!

Congrats to the Elite Eight Baylor Men

and the Final Four Lady Bears!

Troy and Walker don't know about

this photo...but I have to dress my

babies in green and gold before

the Aggie blood really starts flowing!!!

Some of the best times of my life were spent at Baylor! Hello...that's where I met my Na Na's! Even Kelli G, a Red Raider at heart, supported the Bears in Basketball!

Walker is totally, completely, utterly, and obsessively an AGGIE! It's unbelievable. He bleeds maroon! Just the other day when I had on my pink Baylor basketball shirt Walker said, "I thought I told you about that shirt!"

He has been downright ugly about Baylor since he learned to talk (wonder who taught him this behavior!?!). Actually Troy did have a talk with Walker about supporting Baylor since A&M was out, but it still didn't work. I'm sure it won't be too long before Walker Jr. (HUDSON) is the same way! Thank Goodness I have this little girl who will say "Go Baylor" with her mama!

Happy Easter

We had a wonderful Easter even though we had

our Easter lunch today at the hospital cafeteria!!!

My sweet dad is in the hospital with

pneumonia. He is improving and will hopefully

go home on Tuesday. We were still able to take

Hudson to church for the first time and spend

time with our family...even if it wasn't around

a table with my mother's yummy cooking!

We were all together and that's what matters!!!

I have much to share from our Easter

celebrations this week...bunnies, baskets,

baseball, basketball and of course my BABIES!

Walker,

Hadlee,

Hudson,May you ALWAYS know the true meaning of Easter...

For God so loved the world that He gave

His one and only Son, that whoever believes in

Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16

Oh, how HE loves us!!!

Love,

Mommy
